Cleveland
E11
ClevelandI love this episode, where we stepped inside the film AMERICAN SPLENDOR with Michael Ruhlman, Markie Ramone, Michael Symon and the incredible Harvey Pekar and family and friends. Rarely has a show worked out exactly as planned, but this is a rare example. The shooting and post production on this show are remarkable -- particularly the fades from comic book into live action.
Hong Kong
E12
Hong KongWhere we really started to hit our story telling stride - technically and stylistically. The "Bamboo Noodle Guy" remains a classic scene I'm very proud of. The show is paced -- and looks -- just as I'd hoped or better through brilliant shooting and editing.

TuscanyTuscany gives Tony a taste of heaven and hell. Hell because the trip to get there was filled with difficulties. Of course, the heavenly scenery, delicious ingredients, and tasty cuisine might be enough to make Tony forget the awful start to the trip.
